Given the state of 1930s Japan, most children were being trained in the military arts as well as academic subjects. Since mostly boys went on to middle school, the schools often became soldier training centers of sorts. Of course, an important part of this training was sharpshooting, so I have tried to include a number of these. However, school badges were given on many occasions: graduation, alumni meetings, athletic tournaments, foundation anniversaries, etc.
